Dog Walking Southend-on-Sea

“Lynn walked my dog for nearly an hour even though I had only booked half hour! She sent me updates and photos and I felt very comfortable letting my fur baby go out with her. We spoke at length before she left and I felt reassured as I had never done this before! I would definitely use Lynn again. Thanks Lynn he has been asleep all afternoon x”

About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was 10. Hamsters, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Chickens, Dogs, Cats and Goldfish. I've never had any problems with my pets or anyone else's. I work from home, so I'm available 24/7 to look after your pets. Depending on the pets needs, they can either laze in front of the telly or go out for walks 3 or 4 times a day Loads of walks. Great Garden. Love having animals in the house. Your pets will be looked after and pampered. Please let me know of any behavioural issues so I know how to deal with this. Please also tell me the rules in your house and any training you are currently doing so I can keep up to date with these

About: I have owned dogs throughout my teenage and adult years. I am now too busy with work to be owning one but sorely miss the furry company. I am experienced with dogs of all ages having owned dogs from puppy stage till end of life. I understand the nuances needed in the handling and also have owned dogs that needed to stick to strict medication plans. I’m happy to discuss this further in person and am open minded to your dog’s individual needs. I am mobile and love taking dogs to the beach. Cat owners: Unfortunately I am unable to provide the same in-depth level of care for your furry friends as I have developed an allergy in my adult years. I am available for feedings and short time care only in emergencies. Please contact me only if this is the case. I work from home and that can also include your house if your furry friend needs my attention for multiple days on end. I schedule most of my day myself so am quite open to drop by your house to let your dog out, go for walks or for feeding times. I’m happy to discuss further. This depends on your individual needs. I can be available for walks, play dates or overnights. I prefer you to tell me what you are comfortable with. Do you like your dog on the lead only? Do you prefer to stick to certain walking routes or do you give me the freedom to build a foundation of trust with you and your dog to take him/her on adventures. Let’s discuss!

About: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. Friends and family trust me to provide reliable, patient care including feeding, walks, playtime and companionship. I’m especially calm and attentive, which helps nervous or sensitive pets feel relaxed. I believe every animal deserves kindness, consistency and genuine care. I currently work from home 4 days a week, which gives me good flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week, with extra availability on evenings and weekends. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime and a calm, structured routine so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe and predictable environment for every pet. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs and any medication instructions. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so shy or anxious animals feel comfortable. I’m very attentive on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritise your pet’s wellbeing, comfort and security.

About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering routine medications where required, and maintaining established routines. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement, patience, and ensuring every dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a DBS-checked, fully insured pet sitter with pet first aid training, your dog’s welfare and safety are always my top priority. I understand that many pet owners work long hours, enjoy evenings out, travel for business or simply need an extra helping hand. That’s why my services are focused around the times when they’re needed most, with lunchtime visits, evenings and weekends available to fit around your lifestyle. Whether your dog needs a midday walk to break up the day, your cat would benefit from a reassuring home visit while you’re away, or you need dependable weekend or evening pet care, you can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate and professional support. As a fully DBS-checked, fully insured and Pet First Aid qualified pet sitter, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my highest priorities. Every visit is tailored to your pet’s individual routine, ensuring they receive the love, attention and care they deserve in the comfort of their own home. Every pet is unique, and every visit is tailored to their individual needs and routine. By caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, they can remain in a familiar environment, helping to reduce stress and maintain their normal daily routine while you’re away. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, medication, playtime, cuddles or simply some reassuring company, I will ensure they receive the same level of love and attention they are used to. My home visit services can include: * Fresh food and clean water at every visit * Dog walking and exercise * Playtime, enrichment and companionship * Administering medication (where agreed) * Cleaning litter trays and refreshing litter * Scooping dog waste from your garden * Cleaning hutches, cages and enclosures as required * Feeding small pets, birds and reptiles * Grooming or brushing where your pet enjoys it * Opening and closing curtains to give your home a lived-in appearance * Bringing in post or parcels * Watering indoor plants if requested * Regular photo and video updates for complete peace of mind

About: Hi, I’m Liv! I know leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, so my goal is to make them feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality, their routine, provide plenty of love, care and attention, and most importantly keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and having a great time! I currently work part time as a waitress/bar tender, so my rota changes weekly. On my days off, or if I have an early finish/late start I would love nothing more than to spend my time with animals! I live in a ground floor flat with a large garden, I also have a crate if your dog will find safety in one/is used to one. Dogs are more than welcome on the sofa and/or bed, wherever they’re comfortable!

About: 7 years experience ✅️ Hi, my name is Victoria. I am a pet sitter in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, close to the beach and surrounded by lots of beautiful parks and woods. From a young age, I have always loved animals of all kinds (sometimes more than humans🤭!). Growing up, we had cats, rabbits and hamsters at home, so animals have always been a big part of my life they bring me so much peace and happiness. When I got married, my husband and I welcomed a Beagle cross into our family from a puppy. We sadly had to rehome him when he was seven years old, which was a very difficult and heart breaking decision for us. As a family, we have always loved animals, and my son was especially gentle and caring with our dog, knowing when to play with him and when to give him his own space. I love exploring different places on my walks, whether that's the woods, the beach or beautiful country parks, so having a furry friend to enjoy these adventures with would be wonderful company. I’m a caring, reliable and genuinely animal-loving person, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to give them lots of fuss, cuddles and attention, while also respecting their individual personalities and giving them space when they need it. I can offer flexible and personalised pet-sitting services to suit you and your pets, and I’m also happy to help with things such as flea and worming treatments if needed. For your peace of mind i am DBS CHECKED/FULLY INSURED/CPR & FIRST AID TRAINED. If you're looking for a pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and will give your pets plenty of love, care and attention, then feel free to get in touch - I’d love to hear from you! — I’d be very happy to chat about your pets and how I can help! Thank you, Victoria 🐾 I’m currently a stay-at-home mum, so I have lots of time, love and attention to give to an animal who needs it. I also drive and have an estate car with a large boot, so there’s plenty of room for dogs to travel safely and comfortably. I’m also available for drop-in pet visits, whether your pet needs feeding, some playtime, company, cuddles or just a little bit of attention while you’re out. Since rehoming our dog, I’ve really missed having a furry friend to take on walks, discovering new places to explore together and giving them all the love, care and attention they deserve. When we had our dog, we would go out every day and find somewhere new to explore, whether that was the beach, woods or country parks. He absolutely loved going on adventures, meeting other dogs and having lots of exciting new smells to investigate! I would really love the opportunity to share those walks and adventures with another dog and give them the same love and happiness that I gave to our own. 🐾❤️ We live in a spacious two-bedroom flat with access to a communal garden area. Pets are welcome on the beds and sofas — our dog used to sleep in bed with us, so we’re more than happy for your dog to do the same if they’re comfortable. I’m happy to administer flea and worming treatments if needed. We don’t currently have a crate, as we got rid of ours because our dog found it distressing, but I’m more than happy to use your crate if your dog is happy and comfortable being crated. Our dog suffered from severe separation anxiety, so I completely understand how difficult and stressful this can be for both dogs and their owners. I was unable to leave him alone, and he came everywhere with us. If your dog experiences separation anxiety, please be assured that I will not leave them alone and will do everything I can to make them feel safe, settled and comfortable. I can also provide home visits, including check-ins, walks, playtime and feeding, if that’s what your pet needs. 🐾

About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from elderly rescue dogs to lockdown puppies. I'll be taking care of your dog with my husband who has had two dogs in his family home. We're obviously both dog enthusiasts. We work from Monday to Friday and take a lunch walk every day. Our weekends are usually spent enjoying the outdoors. There's plenty of room in our home and hearts for dogs. We have done house and dog sitting full time for over a year and are happy to share testimonials of house owners. Regarding puppies, we have a pen that we are happy to use in case you want us to. We're also happy to have the dog sleeping in our bed room to be sure they are feeling safe and looked after.

About: I am a naturally very patient, calm and compassionate person. My number one priority will always be to ensure your pets safety and happiness :) I have plenty of free time during the week with my youngest child being at school all day and my eldest having recently moved out. I have a fenced garden & a small friendly dog to keep your pup company, also have a gated utility room to give separate quiet time if required.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals over many years and i will treat them like one of my own and spoil them and care for them like how you want me to. I’m currently working part time, so I got plenty of time to care for you pups! I’m can be very flexible and listen you and your pets needs, wants and much more. All pets needs to good around children. I am fully insured and DBS checked and I’m focus on a one to one service. I have a garden but I will take you pups on many adventures and spoil them.

About: I’ve grown up with and cared for all different breeds of dogs since I was a child and also in a voluntary capacity, from boxers, cane corsos, staffies, Lhasa apso, Cavalier, vizsla, german pointer, great dane & springer spaniel. I walk and look after our friends & family’s dogs when they go away or need a bit of extra help and I also regularly volunteer at animal rescue centres. I am very active so more than happy to take your dog for long walks or even runs. I have 2 persian cats who are world and completely understand wanting to have the best care for your furry babies. I just love spending time with animals and wherever I go I always seem to make furry friends! I am very flexible with days and times for walks/drop ins. I am up and out early and am very active and happy to take active dogs on runs with me. I am happy to drop into pets in their own home as I know from my cats that they especially benefit from being in their own environment. I understand to give them their own space until they are ready to interact.

About: Lots of friends and relatives have relied on me to take care of their pups. Whilst I don’t have any accreditations or dogs myself, I can promise that I’d care for yours as if they were my own. They’d bring me just as much joy as I’d hopefully bring them. I do have two little guinea pigs, Peanut & Milo who I dote on but they don’t honestly give much back 😂 They are in a raised hutch which can be moved into one of the bedrooms if needed. I work from home most days each week except the odd Thursday and am honestly looking for motivation to get out on walks now that the dreaded cold has come back. I’m relatively autonomous over my calendar too so can move things around with a fair amount of ease to be flexible. I live in a high rise apartment but it has an extremely safe and very large roof garden space so the best of both worlds whether your pup prefers to run around outside or curl up on the sofa in front of the TV.
